Ever Heard of Sustainable Development?

Mo Xianyun's voice echoed between the mountain peaks, startling several morning birds in the pine forest, which flapped their wings and flew away.

Within moments, golden energy began to circulate within the mountain peak.

Strands of golden light were drawn from the spiritual mist, intertwining and converging in mid-air to form a slender figure.

The figure shifted from illusory to real, revealing a middle-aged man with an expressionless face.

He was dressed in a simple gray outfit, with unremarkable features, yet he exuded an aura that commanded respect.

Mo Xianyun's gaze fell on him, and her heart skipped a beat.

In her perception, this middle-aged man was only at the Middle Golden Core realm, no stronger than her.

But she sensed a deadly danger emanating from him.

This person must be hiding extremely powerful trump cards, far surpassing ordinary Golden Core cultivators!

After the middle-aged man appeared, he calmly cupped his hands in greeting and said in a nonchalant tone, "I am Wang Wu, greetings Elder Mo. Please come with me into the mountain."

Mo Xianyun quickly returned the greeting with a cupped hand. "Thank you for your trouble, Fellow Daoist Wang."

As she spoke, she felt a little uneasy.

There was so much fog on the mountain peak for no reason. She was really afraid that Young Master Lu would think that the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect was deliberately making things difficult for him and taking it out on her.

If the True Lord Leader hadn't said beforehand that Young Master Lu was mild-mannered, she would have even considered sending him a True Lord message to let him know.

Wang Wu said no more and turned to fly towards the mountaintop.

Mo Xianyun followed silently behind, her robes fluttering slightly in the cool morning breeze.

As soon as they flew into the mountain range, a dense, almost viscous, Spiritual Qi rushed towards them.

Mo Xianyun took a sudden breath, and the Spiritual Qi flowed into her lungs through her nasal cavity, causing the spiritual power in her meridians to accelerate its circulation, as if a stagnant pool of water had suddenly been injected with a living source.

Mo Xianyun froze in mid-air.

She opened her eyes wide and stared intently at the white mist so close to her.

The morning light slanted in from the east, illuminating the mist until it was half-transparent, giving it a very faint golden halo.

She took another drag without thinking.

Slurp~

Hmm... yes, that's right, the Spiritual Qi was so dense it turned into mist.

But how the hell is that possible?!

Mo Xianyun has been in the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect for nearly three hundred years, rising from a junior disciple to an elder in the Golden Core Realm.

How could she not know what the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect was like?

How could there be a place with such dense Spiritual Qi within the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect?

The Spiritual Qi was so dense that it condensed into mist!

Wang Wu noticed the person behind him had stopped and turned around to look. "Elder Mo?"

Mo Xianyun snapped back to reality, quickly suppressing the turmoil in her heart. "N-nothing..."

She followed them again.

Wang Wu didn't say anything more, turned around and continued flying forward.

Mo Xianyun followed behind, but she couldn't keep her expression in check.

Her lips twitched repeatedly, and moved several times, but she ultimately remained silent.

As Golden Core Realm cultivator, Mo Xianyun's intelligence was naturally not low.

Based on her years of understanding of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, this mountain wasn't always like this.

Young Master Lu checked in the day before yesterday, and the mountain peak has already undergone such a huge change.

The answer is obvious.

It's obvious that Young Master Lu modified this mountain!

But what Mo Xianyun couldn't understand was how Young Master Lu had managed to do that?

In just one day, the concentration of Spiritual Qi energy in this mountain peak has increased to this level?!

It's probably increased tenfold, right?

Spirit Gathering Formation can also change the Spiritual Qi of an area.

But how powerful would a Spirit Gathering Formation be to increase the concentration of Spiritual Qi energy tenfold in a short period of time?

This level of formation cannot be set up in a single day!

Most importantly, for Spirit Gathering Formation to increase the Spiritual Qi concentration in a region, it needs to forcibly gather the Spiritual Qi from the surrounding areas.

The concentration of Spiritual Qi energy on other mountains near this one clearly remained unchanged.

The concentration of Spiritual Qi on this mountain peak seemed to have increased out of thin air!

This shattered Mo Xianyun's worldview.

Do those legendary Immortal Sect Holy Lands possess such methods?

Mo Xianyun felt that even that might not be the case.

The two passed through layers of spiritual mist and soon landed in front of the cave abode on the mountaintop.

The herbs on both sides of the stone steps were covered with dense dewdrops, glistening with a moist sheen in the morning light.

The cave abode entrance was already open, and a tall, beautiful, and elegant female cultivator stood quietly there. Upon seeing the two land, she respectfully bowed with her hands clasped in greeting.

"Shiqing greets Elder Mo."

Jiang Shiqing's voice was neither humble nor arrogant.

She wore a plain-colored long dress, her face was radiant, and her complexion was rosy.

Wang Wu nodded to Mo Xianyun: "This is the young master's personal maid. Elder Mo, please come in."

Upon hearing this, Mo Xianyun quickly gave Jiang Shiqing a kind, almost friendly smile, "Miss Shiqing 're too kind."

Although the girl in front of him was just a minor cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm, it would be difficult for her to even glance at him in a sect.

But Mo Xianyun dared not be careless at this moment.

After all, this is the personal maid of the mysterious and unpredictable Young Master Lu!

Especially after witnessing the tremendous changes in the mountain's Spiritual Qi over the past two days, Mo Xianyun felt even more awe towards Lu Yang.

Jiang Shiqing was flattered by Mo Xianyun's kindness.

It must be because of the young master.

The thought of Lu Yang filled Jiang Shiqing's heart with sweetness.

When Jiang Shiqing opened her eyes this morning, her first feeling was that her whole body was falling apart.

From my waist to my legs, every muscle ached as if it had been disassembled and reassembled.

She gasped softly, instinctively recalling everything that had happened yesterday, and her body involuntarily trembled slightly.

She turned her head and found the bed next to her was empty.

The young master isn't here; has he already gotten up?

Jiang Shiqing gritted her teeth and forced herself to sit up.

She still needs to clean the young master's cave abode and then go buy breakfast; how can she let him get up first?

The blanket slipped off her shoulders, revealing a faint red mark on her collarbone.

Before she could even sit up properly, the bedroom door was pushed open.

Lu Yang walked in, carrying a steaming cup of spiritual tea.

The morning light streamed in through the skylight, falling on him and making his unreal, handsome face appear even more radiant.

He saw Jiang Shiqing sit up, and a gentle smile appeared on her face, "Awake? Are you tired?"

He walked to the bedside and sat down, placing the spirit tea on the low table by the bedside. Then he reached out and gently stroked Jiang Shiqing's cheek.

His fingertips, slightly warm, touched her cheek, his movements as gentle as if he were afraid of breaking a piece of porcelain.

Jiang Shiqing's heart trembled under Lu Yang's gentle gaze.

With that ethereal face of the young master, looking at her with those eyes, she truly couldn't resist.

She felt like she had become vulgar.

Even though her body was already at its limit, and she was even a little scared, her body seemed to be cheering, wishing she could stick to it again.

She quickly lowered her eyes, her voice still a little hoarse from just waking up. "Young Master... you're not tired. Shiqing will go prepare something to eat for you."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang's lips curled into a meaningful smile. He lowered his voice and said with a mischievous grin, "Not tired? Then let's do it again?"

Jiang Shiqing: "????"

She froze completely, even stopping breathing.

I'll... I'll die, won't I?!

However... if you insist on dying, then so be it...

She bit her lower lip, about to nod reluctantly, but Lu Yang was amused by her expression.

He leaned down and gently pecked her full, rosy lips, whispering in her ear, "Just kidding. It's your first time, so of course I feel sorry for you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shiqing was stunned for a moment, and her eyes immediately reddened. "Young Master... why are you so kind to me?"

She hugged Lu Yang tightly and buried her face in his chest.

Beneath the fabric was the steady, powerful beat of his heart, one after another, so strong it made her bones feel weak.

Lu Yang gently stroked her hair, his movements tender, and smiled, "You're mine now. If I don't treat you well, who else will I treat well?"

Jiang Shiqing's tears welled up instantly, soaking a small patch of Lu Yang's clothes.

She buried her face even deeper, her voice muffled and nasal. "To meet you, young master, is a blessing bestowed upon Shiqing by three lifetimes of good deeds."

Lu Yang chuckled and reached out to wipe away her tears. "Alright, don't cry. You're mine now, so you deserve the treatment you're entitled to."

Jiang Shiqing paused, her eyes blurry with tears, looking at him with a puzzled expression. "Young Master, what kind of treatment is this?"

Lu Yang flipped his hand, and several items appeared in his palm.

He picked up a pale pink pill, about the size of a thumb, with a very faint fluorescence on its surface and a sweet floral fragrance.

"This is Beauty-Preserving Pill; it can keep your appearance young forever."

The system previously awarded five tokens; Lin Ying and Qin Nanyue each received one, leaving three tokens in hand.

Since Jiang Shiqing is his woman, she should naturally get a share.

However, if I were to acquire a few more concubines later, it wouldn't be enough.

The moment Jiang Shiqing heard about the Beauty-Preserving Pill, her breath caught in her throat.

She didn't even look at the other things in Lu Yang's hand; her gaze was fixed on the small pink pill, and she forgot to blink.

As a woman, especially a great beauty, she naturally cares a great deal about her appearance.

She is now twenty-seven years old, but her cultivation level is only at the Mid-stage Qi Refining.

If one's spiritual realm doesn't improve, one's lifespan won't improve; if one's lifespan doesn't improve, one's appearance will age day by day.

She always carried a heavy weight in her heart, fearing that one day her beauty would fade and the young master would abandon her.

But now, the young master has so casually placed an answer into her palm.

This is Beauty-Preserving Pill!

Even female cultivators, whether Golden Core True Person or Nascent Soul True Lord, would probably go crazy for her!

She quickly took the Beauty-Preserving Pill, her fingertips trembling slightly.

She bit her lower lip, her eyes flickering as if she had made a decision, and looked at Lu Yang, saying, "Young Master, if you insist... Shiqing is willing... Ah!"

Before Jiang Shiqing could finish speaking, Jiang Shiqing Lu Yang her on the head with one knuckle, causing her to cover her forehead, look at him with teary eyes, and appear quite aggrieved.

"Young master..."

Lu Yang said irritably, "What are you talking about? In your heart, is the young master so cruel and despicable? You've already gone this far, and I still want to continue? Don't you know about sustainable development?"

Jiang Shiqing blinked.

She had never heard of sustainable development before.

However, the meaning of these words when put together is simple and clear, and she understood them immediately.

The young master is thinking of her best interests.

The young master still cares about her after all!

Jiang Shiqing's pretty face flushed slightly, her heart pounded, and she murmured softly, "Thank you for your pity, young master..."

Once I've recovered, I'll be at your mercy, young master!

There are many moves in the Record of Same-Heart Creation that she hasn't tried yet!

You must work hard to learn all the moves so you can use them with the young master!
